Shaft Power Measurement Solutions
Our marine shaft power meter systems measure shaft torque, power, propulsion, rpm and thrust (if required), to ensure optimum performance is maintained throughout the lifecycle of a vessel. Using highly accurate & reliable strain gauge technology, combined with cutting-edge electronics, our system has an accuracy of 0.1%. It can be installed and commissioned within 1-2 days on a variety of shafts including intermediate shafts, thrusters, propellers and controllable pitch propellers. Our technology, along with our expertise in dynamic sampling of strain gauges, enable us to unlock a significant amount of information regarding the performance of the engine & propulsion shaft, along with the propeller.

Wind Turbine Condition Monitoring
It has also become increasingly apparent in recent years that the wind turbine industry has recognised the importance of condition-based monitoring, especially for offshore wind turbines, where access is often limited.To increase reliability and minimise down time, many wind turbine manufacturers, owners and operators are turning to condition-based monitoring systems, aimed at predicting wind turbine maintenance issues, so that operators can quickly and effectively carry out predictive maintenance, repairs and replacements of components when needed, without the need for costly routine maintenance checks and visits. As a result, a condition monitoring system increases operational time, improves site performance and reduces maintenance costs for wind turbines, especially offshore ones.
